671 Hinds Lismore Road, Lismore, Ashburton

Prime irrigated dairy support

Located approximately 21km from Ashburton and 103km from Christchurch Airport, is this highly productive approximately 157 hectare farm.

After 53 years our Vendors present their farm to the market offering to the new owner a property that has the ability to secure grazing for cows and young stock, silage, cereals and straw for supplements using the diverse Lismore soils and the desirable Mayfield Hinds Irrigation Scheme water which is applied by two centre pivot irrigators covering approximately 133 hectares.

Irrigation water is stored in an on-farm pond and pumped under pressure for efficient use and cost management capable of running both pivots simultaneously.

Developed over the years from sheep and crop with flood irrigation to cow grazing, lamb finishing, winter feed production coinciding with pivot irrigation infrastructure upgrades allowing this property to support the dairy industry and faithfully continued to a high standard by the current Lessee's.

There are six paddocks all easily accessed from the main yard by a formed laneway leading to and from the cattle yards, implement and hay sheds plus workshop. Accommodation is well provided by a three-bedroom homestead and singleman's cottage.
